(A) PHILO 101, PHILO 103, PHILO 104, & PHILO 106: These are the philosophy department’s introductory courses and count toward Stage 2 or “Broad Exposure” of the GER or Category V of the Distribution Requirement. PHILO 101, PHILO 104, & PHILO 106 may carry the “W” designation, depending on the section. PHILO 103 will never bear that designation. All these courses have no pre-requisite, but students must have ENGL 120 as a co-requisite, if they have not successfully passed it already.

(D) PHILO 275 and PHILO 279 count toward the major, but do not satisfy Stage 3 or “Focused Exposure” of the GER or carry the “W” designation.

(E) All PHILO courses at the 300-level have the pre-requisites of at least 2 courses in philosophy and ENGL 120. These courses count toward the major or Stage 3, Focused Exposure, of the the GER.***

(F) All PHILO courses at the 400-level have the pre-requisites of at least 3 courses in philosophy, ENGL 120, and permission of the instructor. These courses (“Independent Study,” “Honors Tutorial,” & “In-Service Learning”) count toward the major exclusively. Only full-time faculty members can be instructors of 400-level philosophy courses.
